The proposition Of the Northern connec-
tons of the Florida railroads TO subscribe
a sum of money equal TO any amount which
may bo raised in Florida, to be expended in
advertising the attractions of the State at

The New York Star announces that if
fhe Platt machine succeeds i'll electing its
State ticket this fall, Roscoe Conkling will
be the Republican candidate for President
In 1888. This announcement, even if it
prove true, ought not to scare anybody.
On account of the enemies in his own party,
the Democrats will find it just as easy to
defeat Conkling as Blaine, and if by any
accident he should be elected the country
would at least have an honest man for
President.

The Oyster Bill.

In another column of this issue will be
found the text of the substitute for the bill
for the protection of oysters in the waters of
this State That there is need of protection
for oysters and CLAIMS will hardly be denied
by anyone who is acquainted with the de-
structive methods which are employed in
catching them. Both oysters and CLANS are
now quite plentiful along our coast, but
how long will they be plentiful if no means
are adopted to protect and preserve them z
Every year the demand for them increases
Canning factories are erected in the vicinity
of the beds by those who are not citizens
of the State, and whose only aim is
to market as many oysters as they can in
the shortest possible time. They do not
plant new beds ami they use no precautions
for the preservation of those already in ex-
istence. If something is not done for the
protection of oysters they will become as
scarce as terrapins have.
Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York AMI other States all have laws con
trolling the oyster fisheries, and they are
enforced as vigorously as any other laws
The consequence is that immense beds of
oysters are planted every year and the yield
is yearly increased to meet the increased
demand. The bill to which we call atten-
ton is wise one in its purpose, and should
meet with prompt approval

visit by the best representative of the
tariff reform Democrats is necessary to pre-
vent any ili-effects from the Pennsylvania

or the sentiment anilnating a
great majority of the people of this State
on the tariff question. Mr.. Randall can do
no great harm. Mr. Carlisle ought to be
invited to attend the fair however-uot to
commit tie people to his views on the tariff,

may have an opportunity to see Georgia and
Georgia farmers at their best. The place to
do that is Macon, and the time, during tn e

takes up two columns of space in telling it,
that the English government has force of
detectives in New York to watch the dyna
miters and Fenians. II is not to be won

ment buildings, the Tower, the underground
railway, etc. 1t is to be hoped that the de-
tectives are good ones, and will prevent the
recurrence of such outrages. Americans
are not proud of the fact that there is reason
to believe that their chief city is the head
quarters of the gang responsible for them.

constituted itself the organ of the indie
pendent Democrats of Maryland, aud

insincerity and deceit against the Presi-

more, not editorally. 1t has seemed to
those who hive watched Mr. Cloveand's
career that il there were any vices from
which he was particularly free it was those
with which he is now charged. 1t will
take much better evidence than the World
publishes to change that opinion.
The United States District Court at
Wheeling, w. Va, has decided the famous
Opie case. The decision is that payments
in Confederate money were not legal pay

administrator sold lands belonging to the

payment for the same. He turned the money
over to the estate. The heirs sued for law
full money, and the decision was in their
favor.

Sitting at the base Of a pine tree I

stained with blood, which had oozed
from under a bandage made Of an old
shirt sleeve, tight bound around his
eyes. BY his side sat a little drummer boy
with unstrung drum, and the sticks put
up standing on the ground before him.
The muscular form Of the sergeant
was bent forward, his chin resting on
his hands, his elbows on his knees.
His figure conveyed to me the impress
sion Of utter hopelessness.
The small drummer looked up the
road, and then down the road, with
anxious gaze. / stopped for an instant,
and asked:
What is the matterr

To Abolish In,ernn, Revenue Taxes.

The first number of the Herald, new
morning paper published at Birmingham,
Ala, contains the following editorial under
the bead ''Wipe It Out"
The best argument in favor of the repeal Of
the internal revenue tax is that 1t is no longer
necessary. ar
Custom house duties always have been, ana
must remain, the chief source Of revenue to
the government. The tariff affords the least
expensive and most available machinery fDr
the collection Of taxes, and ii, of all metiois
least burdensome tp the taxpayers.
Nothing like absolute free trade, necesSi-
tating direct tax on land and property
would be tolerated for day BY the Am srican
people.
The tariff Is the best mode OF collecting the
government tax, and the revenue from tht
source is now sufficient for all current x
penses and the payment Of the public deJt.
The collections from the iuterlal rcvenu
serve only to pile up an unueeled surplus. o
which Senator Beck, of Kenucky, has SAID Il
would be blessing TO the nation if thieves
could break into the treasury ana steal II.
The logical conclusion to be drawn from
this is that the internal revenue tax sho1ld
be repealed This should be done regardless
Of the divergent views as to the mtnner Of
adjusting the tariff. It is a known fact that 70
reduce tariff duties will increase the revenue
from that source unless the reduction be down
10 that point amounting to free trade.
Could the Carlisle Democrats have such q
tariff as they now clamOr for, the custom house
revenue would doubtless bo increased, bccAuSC
OF increased impostatlons. It is illogical, then,
| from any standpoint to oppose the repeal of the
| internal taxes. The revenue received there
| from is suptrtuous, ana Will be supcrauous
| let the tariff be adjusted as II may.
There are great many strong objections thai

In order to reduce the surplus, the mex

agent Of the people, must do that which

Bank or other speculators in four.and a

Secretary FairchIld in the face Of the
law and of his responsibility as agent cannot
icgdily purchase bonds at premium on
neat Wednesday or dny other daE and II
would do the sellers no good, for the United
Statee, under the law, would recover the
money which it's faithless agent had Illegally
paid out.
"Story, on Agency page 22i, says
"When, therefore, the property OF the prin.
cipal is intrusted to the agent for a special
purpose, as, fer example, for sale or OK
change, II transfer Ia made by him CithtH

The money OF the United States ia In
trusted to Secretary Faircbild for specia
purpose, and to be disposed of under the
limitations OF the law. Should he dispose o!
any dollar OF it contrary to law sit may b,
reclaimed by the United States" So says
Justice Story. To purchase bond at 9
premium, when the law authorizes the pay
ment of the same bond, will be TO dispose d
the money contrary TO law.
President Cleveland, while he is iuhalini
ozone at Oak View, had better not overlook
the actions Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
or HE administration will be censurcd. III,
had courage enough to overrulo both tn
Secretary OF the Interior aud the Attorney
Genaral in the Guilford Miller case wher
the strict letter Of the Law WAS on thei
side. Wlll he permit Wall Street AMI tn
Secretary of the Treasury to commit thl
wrong, when both Law and equity art
against it9
1t is clear to us that the Secretary OF th
Treasury knew on the first day Of this tisca
year that money would accumulate, ha'
teen and would continue to accumulate IL
the treasury at the rate of more than $40,
C00,OO0 per month, and the three per cent
having matured, his duty was to pay them
In addition, 1t was clearly his duty to cal
and specify certain numbered bonds o
each class equal to per cent. OF the eutir
Indebtedness and notify the holders thai
the interest thereon would cease and tn
money was ready for their payment. M
having done this, It makes him liable to tn
criticism that he preferred to purch.s
bonds at premium rather than to pa
them at their face value, as the sink
ing fund law authorizes him to do.

WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP.
A Beautiful Resort Much Frequented-
Concert ut the Hotel.

The fayorite camp ground for residents
Of this city-that Of Washington Grove-is
this year more attractive than ever. Rest
and recreation are there for all. Among
the ministerial visitors sojourning In their
comfortable cottage homes are Revs.
Elliott, Wright, Rice, Chapman, aud the
presiding elder, DR.. j. McKendree Reilly.
The local pastor Is the Rev. A. Zimmerman,
who has done SO much lately ut Ryland
Chapel, and he has evidently endeared him
self to young and old.
The grove social and concert was given
on Saturday night at the hotel, and the par
lors and the versndahs were crowded. The
music was rendere ! by Miss Eva Mills, Mrs.
Barrett, Mrs. Winter, and Mr.. Frank Bax-
ter, and 1t was thoroughly enjoyed. Reel
tations and refreshments formed no uuim-
portsnt feature In the programme. Miss
Mills will remain at the hotel about two
weeks.
Camp meeting commences on Thursday
next, and hopes have scared high as to the
results. A deep religious feeling prevails
and great work with glorious reward Il
looksd for. There will be no public Sunday
services and all Sabbath picnics are for
bidden.
The hotel under the able management Of
Mrs. s. d. La Fetra, attracts large NUN
Der OF the visitors, and by Its merits succeeds
in keeping them longer than they intended
to stay.
